University of Baltimore

I am curious as to whether anyone can provide information on what is needed for a full scholarship to UB. I was previously a 1L at a tier 2 school but had to withdraw mid year due to some family issues and related financial problems. I can go back to my original school, but at a considerable financial cost. I would love to finish my legal studies, but due to my circumstances, I can't afford to move back away for school (from the DC/MD area, have md residency). I dont care about "big firms" - i just want to be able to practice. So, does anyone have a full scholarship from UB? If so, what were your stats? Thanks for the help.

I was told that a LSAT of 163+ is a virtual lock for a full tuition scholarship when I applied for Fall '07. I am assuming your GPA isn't ridiculously low. We got a new dean this past year, and I believe the amount of scholarship money available increased. It may now be a little easier to get a scholarship.

Good Luck

I saw that chart, but it isn't very clear. Does it mean that those are the minimum stats to be considered for a scholarship for any kind - full or partial? Or does it mean that those with those stats will automatically be offered a scholarship (full/partial)?

I don't think the numbers are set in stone. A person with a very high GPA of 4.0+ could probably get a full ride with a 156 and vice versa.

You need to call UB and ask about your specific status since you are in a unique position due to your withdrawal. You appear to have a compelling financial/family reason to want to attend UB. Emphasize this in your app. Mark Bell Assistant Director of Admissions Office of AcademicAffairs - LC 103 (410) 837-4464 should be able to answer any specific questions.

can you provide more details? Are you a traditional (from ug) student? Anything spectacular in terms of soft factors/extra curricular? Are you in state? Are you a urm? Thanks for the info.

Sure. I majored in Sociology and minored in Biology. I guess some soft factors include graduating high school and college in 3 yrs each. I have done some volunteering at some non-profit organizations and my job throughout the years has been tutoring. I am out of state (Cali) and graduated from a state school. I am not a URM. I identified myself as Middle-Eastern on the app, since I am Iranian. But, I don't think that particular fact would make a difference.
